An unexpected turn of events, he realized, as it turned out she had not been pierced by the tip of the spear. As he was in the progress of pushing the spear towards her with the palm of his right hand, and only using his left as a makeshift shaft for the hilt to go through, the old warrior was able to avoid getting pulled into the melee range the orcish woman most likely craved. Knowing he was not out of danger, he pivoted around his right leg, performing a controlled rotation, moving his body, and,  as a result, his head. As his right leg was further behind his left leg, he would, naturally, end up further away from the orc, and would avoid any incoming attack. Pivoting on his right leg would also allow him to avoid getting struck by the spear's handle, which was flying in an arc around the right side of the woman, and could strike him if he had opted to pivot around his left leg.

 Whilst performing the rotation, his right hand, outstretched as it had been about to push, but had nothing to push, would stay like that, so as to keep him balanced, while his left hand would dart for the sword on his right side. Upon completing the pivot, Karaulish expected to have turned at ninety degrees to his left, at which point he would proceed to pivot around his left leg, now further away from Olga in comparison to his right leg. During the second pivot, he would be executing an upward-sideways swing with the sword which would be in the process of being drawn, but as it had no sheath it was effectively always drawn, and only needed to break through the thin leather strap holding it onto his belt, which had the same button mechanism as the strap on his back, meant for his spear, meaning it would take a small amount of force, almost minuscule, to set the weapon free.

 If his enemy did not evade this attack it would cut into the front of her left thigh and go on to shred through her stomach.
